there are many galleries here, but also many artist.. there are 5 major art schools also and the acadamy of fine arts, one of the oldest art schools in america is here too teaching very traditional painting.. and so alot of galleries are traditional and a bit conservative.. as are the people who live here i guess.. those who buy art anyway..

the more i see of your work the more it puts me in mind of an artist i loved in the 80's.. also french.. and i could never remember his name to see more of it.. and i think his first name was girard.. do you know of him? in any event your work is magnificent!

Hello! I hope you are feeling better because your work really is truely an inspiration - when i see your paintings i really want to do more myself - I aspire to paint as well and as freely as you do! You paint from the heart and it shows!
